Mary
Sue Maurer was elected to the Calabasas City Council in 2005 and
re-elected in 2009. She is committed to
continuing the City’s legacy of environmental preservation and small
town ambiance. She serves the residents of Calabasas in a spirit of
collaboration with a commitment to the shared values that make Calabasas
one of the most desirable places to live in California.
Maurer
was instrumental in creating legislation that prohibits the use
polystyrene (Styrofoam) packaging by retail food establishments. She
spearheaded an amendment to the original secondhand smoke control
ordinance that now requires 80% of apartment buildings in Calabasas to
be smoke-free by 2012. For this effort, she was recognized by the
California Apartment Association for her collaborative efforts with
apartment managers/owners and public health advocates.
She
also developed many Calabasas programs including: a joint exercise with
Los Angeles County Department of Public Health to create an annual
drive-through flu shot clinic in preparation for a possible mass
inoculation event; a partnership with the Calabasas Rotary Club to
assist families in crisis; and promotion of the Los Angeles County
Reserve Deputy program, and other emergency preparedness programs for
civilians. Prior to her election to office, Maurer was a community
organizer for educational issues and championed the successful campaign
to build Alice C. Stelle Middle School in Calabasas. She has a
long-standing record as a public servant, most recently serving as a
teacher with the Los Angeles Unified School District, a Field Deputy to
former Assemblymember Fran Pavley, and a Deputy Press Secretary to
former Insurance Commissioner John Garamendi. In the private sector,
she worked in the public relations divisions of The Walt Disney Company
and Blue Shield of California. She is currently a member of the Santa
Monica Mountains Conservancy Advisory Committee, the Calabasas Rotary
Club, the Headwaters Corner board, and a volunteer parent for her sons’
roller hockey team. |
